TMS dealer, Control Specialties of Asheville, is working with Vanir Energy, LLC on the installation of the world’s largest solar thermal installation for heating and cooling.  The first project is a 900,000 square foot facility called Fletcher Business Park, located in Fletcher, NC, which is where Vanir is headquartered.  This facility will produce 1.5 megawatts of power with 640 panels.   Control Specialties will be providing all the automation needed for this project, including chillers, boilers, and pumps.

Besides having a positive affect on the environment, Vanir will also have a positive affect on the job market:  Vanir Vice President Scott Clark said that “58 jobs will be

creat[ed] in less than 60 days.”*  Vanir will be investing $14 million in thermal heating and cooling in North Carolina, and TMS is excited to have a role in this project and upcoming projects.
